ShellPhone - SSH client

✨ 1-month free trial — try every Pro feature at no cost.

Your terminal, in your pocket.

NEW: server monitoring with nothing to install — live CPU, RAM, disk and processes on any Linux, macOS or Windows server.

ShellPhone is a real, full-featured SSH client for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android — one native app, every device. Free to download and use as your daily driver. No cloud. No tracking. No nonsense.

A genuine xterm terminal (true colour, UTF-8, 10,000-line scrollback), multi-tab sessions, SFTP browser, SSH tunnels, snippets, command history, and a Termux-style on-screen keyboard with every symbol you actually need at a shell. Optional annual subscriptions unlock the power-user features — or get the All-in-one bundle and forget about it. No account, ever.
